Pyne
Sand and Stone was started in 1942 by Joseph Pyne, Sr.,
Jim’s father, as a Jack-of-all-Trades general contracting
company and originally operated out of a home/garage on Main
Street in Hopkinton Center until it outgrew this location
and moved to Fruit Street in the Woodville section of
Hopkinton. The company was incorporated in 1964 and in 1975
ceased doing construction work so as to devote all of its
time to becoming a high quality construction materials
producer. Pyne Sand relocated it’s entire operation,
including office, garage and a new processing plant, to
Douglas in 2003 to be closer to existing and prospective
vital raw material sources.
The
company has a work force of twenty two highly skilled
professionals as well as several part time employees. They
have 4 Mack trailer dumps and 3 Mack ten wheelers, a gravel
washing/crushing plant, many pieces of Caterpillar earth
moving equipment and more. On any given day, Pyne can have
up to 15 hired trucks, in addition to their own fleet,
servicing customer needs.
